The two tickets, one for the December 12th drawing and the other for this past Saturday, December 15th drawing both matched four of the five white ball numbers and the Powerball to lay claim to a total prize of $50,000.

The winning ticket from the December 12th drawing was sold in Slidell at a RaceTrac gas station on Gause Boulevard. The December 15th winning ticket was sold in Plaquemines at the V&C Grocery on Bellview Road.

Both the Powerball and Mega Millions Jackpots have continued to grow over the past several weeks. The Powerball jackpot is estimated to be $262 million when the drawing is held on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot is estimated to be $284 million when the drawing for that game is held on Tuesday evening.
